If it's Earth Day you KNOW it's the Hoboken Earth Day Tire Fire and Bar-B-Q!

One of Hoboken's signature events, the event that tops even their constantly changing working paper on what St. Patrick's Day is for family fun, the Hoboken Earth Day Tire Fire and Bar-B-Q is being held along Sinatra Drive. With Boy Scout troops from Jersey City, Newark, Bayonne, Union City, Secaucus all out collecting tires from their towns to add from Superstorm Sandy this year's tire fire promises to be the Mile Square City's best evah!

The city is filling up a barge with gas cans and Hoboken residents will get to try and recreate Bronn's most excellent flaming arrow shot from the Blackwater scene in Game of Thrones. One shot per resident. The winner of course gets to name the barge, or what's left of it, which becomes FuHo's new storm surge blocker.

Sooty the Clown will be on hand (He clears his calendar for this event) to make balloon animals from balloons with lead paint. Sooty will also lead the children's chorus in the singing of "Smoke on the Water" which they're hoping to bring in under twelve minutes this year.

So come on out to scenic Hoboken and have more fun than you should be allowed to have for free.
